Reviewed decisions and project status

Study underway; zoning unchanged · Status evidence Sep 6, 2026

Ridge Road zoning study could change redevelopment options

A study following the 2024 Comprehensive Plan explores business uses, mixed-use flexibility, building standards and parking rules. The Village explicitly says zoning changes have not been adopted.

Next record to check: Track draft ordinance text, mapped boundaries and adoption votes before changing any property's zoning description.

Ridge Road business district around Lake and Wilmette Avenues. A documented decision does not by itself establish a paid amount or a completed project.

Revised application; hearing September 28 · Status evidence Aug 21, 2026

School expansion could change an alley and pickup traffic

The revised Saint Francis Xavier School application combines building changes, an alley vacation, parcel consolidation and a proposed pickup/drop-off area.

Next record to check: Check the confirmed September 28 agenda and later Zoning, Plan Commission and Village Board outcomes.

808 Linden Avenue; Greenleaf Avenue and 9th Street. A documented decision does not by itself establish a paid amount or a completed project.

Design direction; no construction vote · Status evidence Jul 14, 2026

Hibbard Road: public feedback changes the design

Approved June 9 minutes record design direction toward on-street bike lanes and parking on one side, alongside road, drainage and water-service work. Construction funding and later approvals remain separate.

Next record to check: Track detailed engineering, funding and final plans. Do not treat the earliest 2030 date as a construction commitment.

Hibbard Road, Old Glenview Road to Skokie Boulevard. A documented decision does not by itself establish a paid amount or a completed project.

April 2026 permit-process report; issued permits unconfirmed · Status evidence Apr 28, 2026

Optima Lumina: later PUD action confirmed; delivery needs separate records

The Village records preliminary approval and a later PUD grant. An April 28, 2026 staff update reports permitting in progress; issued permits, construction and public-benefit delivery remain unverified.

Next record to check: Follow the April 2026 permit-process report to issued MWRD and Village permits, housing-contribution receipts and offsite completion records; confirm the executed final conditions separately.

721–739 Green Bay Road. A documented decision does not by itself establish a paid amount or a completed project.

Component recommendations; final construction status unconfirmed · Status evidence Jul 21, 2025

Lake Avenue combines intersection and water-infrastructure changes

The project studies road and crossing improvements with drainage, watermain renewal and lead-service replacement between Green Bay and Sheridan.

Next record to check: Read later Village Board actions and engineering updates; preserve separate statuses for each component.

Lake Avenue, Green Bay Road to Sheridan Road. A documented decision does not by itself establish a paid amount or a completed project.
